Dodge has decided to drop the Charger Daytona R/T from the 2026 lineup, replacing it with the Scat Pack variant as the flagship model.
The Charger Daytona R/T was initially designed to be an accessible electric muscle car with impressive specs but faced low consumer demand due to its high price point.
The shift in strategy reflects Dodge's focus on trims that better resonate with customers, with a commitment to retaining the brand's identity even in the electric era.
While the Charger Daytona R/T will no longer be available, higher-performance models like the Scat Pack and Banshee are still in development, with price adjustments to enhance their competitiveness and appeal.
